Full Job Description

Project Accountant

This position is being recruited on a confidential basis for a premier, multi-state contracting firm. Details regarding company identity, location, and specific leadership will be disclosed to qualified candidates during the initial screening process.

Responsibilities:

1. WIP & Revenue Recognition Management

Maintain and update monthly Work in Progress (WIP) schedules, ensuring accurate percentage-of-completion accounting across all commercial electrical projects.
Facilitate monthly WIP review meetings with Project Managers to review estimated cost at completion (EAC), cost-to-complete forecasts, and profit slippage.
Over/Under Billing Analysis: Identify and reconcile over-billings (unearned revenue) and under-billings (unbilled receivables) monthly.
Analyze contract variances, identifying margin fade or unexpected cost spikes in labor, materials, or subcontractor costs early.

2. Job Costing & Labor/Material Tracking

Monitor job cost tracking across all active projects, verifying labor rates, burden allocations, material costs, equipment usage, and subcontractor pay applications.
Reconcile purchase orders (POs) and subcontracts against project budgets to prevent cost overruns.
Audit shop/pre-fab vs. field labor allocations and equipment/tool rental charges to ensure accurate cost coding.

3. Billings, Collections & Pay Applications

Oversee the preparation and submission of monthly AIA progress billings (G702/G703), Schedule of Values (SOV), unit-price, and time-and-materials (T&M) billings.
Manage conditional and unconditional lien waivers for subcontractors, vendors, and general contractors.
Monitor project Accounts Receivable (A/R) aging and partner with Project Managers to accelerate collections on past-due retainage and progress billings.

4. Change Orders & Subcontracts

Ensure all executed and pending Change Orders (COs) are properly logged, budgeted, and billed in the accounting system.
Review subcontractor payment applications, ensuring compliance with insurance/SO&A requirements, prevailing wage rules (if applicable), and retainage withholdings.

5. Financial Reporting & Process Improvement

Prepare project-level financial reports, cash flow forecasts, and project gross-margin analyses for senior leadership.
Drive process improvements in project setup, cost coding, timecard processing integrations, and billing workflows.
Assist in year-end audit preparations, specifically regarding project revenue, receivables, and job cost documentation.

Requirements:

Education: Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
Experience: 10 years+ of hands-on construction accounting experience.
Software Proficiency: Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and experience with construction ERP systems like Sage, Vista, Foundation, or NetSuite. Procore and Spectrum as well.
Industry Knowledge: Understanding of job cost principles, retainage, and construction compliance workflows.

Job Type: Full-time
